Ombre powder brows are legit, as is Morgan!
I got my eyebrows microbladed back in July 2015, and they lasted me a good 2 years or so before I started using the outlines to fill in. Around 2019, the outlines were gone and faded, and I figure it would be time to treat myself to some new brows and save money in the long run on makeup.
Easily made an appt with Morgan for a correction set once I showed her my brows and was approved. The studio is easy to find per her detailed instructions and I had no issue finding parking during my evening session.
Morgan's attention to detail and genuine love of her craft is apparent from start to finish. It begins with just a preliminary email advising you on what to expect and how to best prepare for the procedure. Then, when you're at your appointment, Morgan guides you step by step through her process. She first asks what type of brow you are looking for, then she cleans up your brow area and begins tracing ( I think this took about 45 min to an hour). She worked with me every step of the way and made sure I was happy/comfortable with the result. Then, once she had everything traced and ready, she went to work.
Pain is minimal. She initially starts without numbing cream just to do the outline and the pain is similar to threading I would say, so it's not bad (and I have a low tolerance for pain). Once the numbing cream is on you barely feel a thing. I fell asleep on the table at one point lol.
The process, in its entirety, from start to finish, took a whopping four hours. That's when you know Morgan puts a lot of effort and dedication into her craft. The finished product was AMAZING. The arch was perfect, the size of the brow was perfect. I legit walked out of there feeling confident and great! Morgan advised me of the next steps, aftercare, and gave me gel and everything I needed. I left so happy and took a bunch of selfies (because obvs).
The first week, the brows stayed consistently the same color wise. I got complimented by nearly everyone I hung out with. I made sure not to wet my brows at all the first two days, and Morgan gives you protective gear to ensure that.
Peeling didn't start until about after 5-7 days, and lasted for about another 5-7 days after that. I had a few days of going into work and being like "ugh don't look at me," but overall it wasn't bad, lol.
At around the three-four week mark, my brows were fully healed and looked SUPER natural. It's so nice to be able to wake up and not put any brow powder on etc. The shape is great, and it did shrink a bit, but I am happy and very content with my brows overall. My mom is now planning to get them done with Morgan and I've recommended to all my friends who are interested, so I hope they follow through!
I cannot wait to come back for my touch up once this pandemic is over, and I cannot wait to bring the brows outside of my apartment soon enough, haha.
Thanks Morgan! read more
